Trolling and banter aren't quite the same to me, I think there's very very little actual trolling on here nowadays. But banter and all sorts of tongue-in-cheek posting is encouraged by a) low activity, as serious, lengthy posts may not feel worth it, and b) the fact that pretty much everyone here "knows" each other really well by now.

Maybe also: c) club sections tend to be where people talk more seriously about their club. But we don't have enough active members to keep the club sections alive, apart from a couple.

For me, activity is the only problem here.

Agreed. I caught myself a few posts ago and realized trolling is the word I was looking for.

In fairness only Red and RG are active posters of the admins and i know for a fact both of them are busy.

Also what is there to say? we all know the problems, it's repeated ground at this point.

The situation is simple. Ratio of posters leaving is much higher than new active posters joining.

Posters leave in EVERY forum. Honestly GL is a rare case where we have posters staying for five years and more. The only difference is in other forums new posters actually join and stay active.

It is clear that this forum will never ever be advertised or marketed. Maybe its because too much effort required. I have accepted this. We all have to accept that this place will soon be dead.

Well, what shall I say? I'm always posting stuff in outside topics to add some variety, but obviously no one is interested in such, so it is not as if I haven't noticed anything ^^

Depends also on your definition of 'dead', some people from highly active forums would take a look at this place and define it as 'dead' already.

True.

I wouldn't define the general section and hub sections as dead personally, there is still active threads every day.

To me dead is posting on a subject and coming back the next day and seeing absolutely no replies.

The big question is, and one I haven't seen a definite answer to, are we going to do anything or just let it slide?

And this really isn't one for the mods & admins (or maybe RWO and Tom could show some cleavage?), it's for everyone to say their piece.

this is a year where all the most supported team except Barca are being bad .. Chelsea in the worst Abramovich year ( fought even for relegation some months) , Arsenal fans NEVER been so intolerant towards Wenger, United fans feel worse than under Moyes, Real aren't having a worthy year, Liverpool were bad, Milan meh (I'd say even us, if we aren't 3 on this forum . nay 2 Laughing ) . The performances of your club are a relevant factor to entice you to write the Ā posts.It's not easy to write about football or about how much your club is shite in Ā certain moments. This doesn't mean you should stop to write of course..

Anyway , for me also the only problem is the inactivity here.

Never been annoyed for " banters" , not even seemed excessive for me.

The trolling has been really bad in the past Razz Like I stated in a previous post, if there's anything that's gotten better on here, it's the banter/trolling. It's more light-hearted, nowadays, and I wouldn't really categorize any of the current members as trolls.. just occasional attention wh-res, something I'm also guilty of being sometimes. I don't post a lot in the general section, but I can't remember the last time someone went out of their way to hijack a thread to such an extent that a constructive discussion that was actually going somewhere, turned into complete banter.

I'm definitely a fan of banter, but there have been times in the past when there were more trolls fighting for peoples' attention, than there were people willing to discuss football. It's during those times that you just want to put all of the try-hard trolls and their fanboys in a room and have them wear each other out Razz I honestly wouldn't complain if Cyberman had still been around. That guy cracked me up on several occasions. I wouldn't want all of the trolls back, though. Might as well make this a Youtube channel, if they do.

Plus it's not the admins' and mods' job to bring new people in, their job is to moderate the people who are in.

Mole, there are a lot of topics in the hub I would consider dead if we are judging by your standards. I often post in there and have to wait a day (sometimes days) to get a response. You guys do a really good job of keeping certain threads consistent, but is argue a majority are not that active.

The hub used to be one of the most Poppin' places in the forum. Maybe I'll experiment musing in that bad boy and see what kind of response the thread gets.

The banter argument again Laughing


Nobody wants to come home from a 10 hour shift and unwind by coming on to GL and having an in depth 2 hour long discussion about x managers footballing philosophy ffs if 'banter' was off the table GL would be dead in 2 Weeks tops guaranteed.

Like it's been pointed out the banter free clean debate section is deader than Chris Benoit.

I have no problem with the 'banter' aspect. It worked for this forum. However as I said earlier in the thread, keeping things serious is probably a better idea in terms of longevity.

Personally, I always get bored of everything I do after a while. I'm usually really dedicated, even obsessed to a point in everything I do, which is why I was super active at one point. However after I've had my fill and the novelty wears off, I start losing interest and sometimes abandon the activity altogether. Maybe that's the case for a lot of people?

Whatever the case, proactivity is the best solution here. Sitting back and doing nothing isn't going to help. Me? I would basically give the forum a makeover and start a new era. Start promoting the heck out of the forum etc. Use the clean debate section rules for the new general section. A complete transformation of the forum would most definitely entice me.

Honestly the best idea for this forum is to remove chat so more gets discussed in threads. Plus Goal.com was way better because we didn't have chat.

TBH I'd make a La Liga section instead of a Barca + Madrid for better discussions. The Barca posters on this forum are the best posters. Madrid are the worst. They can even each other out drinking
